Desires Die Hard Chapter 189
Desires Die Hard (Anya and Evan) by Beryl Occam
Chapter 189
Honestly, after venting her rage at her son, Mdm MacMillan wasnât that mad anymore. But she blew up again when he
brought up Anya. The old woman started yelling at her son again, âHow dare you! Are you on her side?â
âDo you
know what she did to me? She thinks she can get away with anything!â
âI know,â Cornelius said. âThatâs why I think we should leave her alone. Pretend sheâs not your granddaughter.
âSilence!â The old lady gritted her teeth angrily. âLook at how your daughter turned out! She nearly destroyed our fanityâs reputation. Now, sheâs trying to steal the man that Sydney loves from her. How can I stand by and not do anything?â
Cornelius froze. He had no idea that Anya was trying to seduce Evan. The little sympathy he had for his eldest daughter vanished without a trace. He would always take Sydneyâs side. âIs that true, Morn?â
âWhy would I lie to you? Sheâs trying to steal Evan from Sydney. Maybe itâs her way of getting back at us. I wonât let her have her way,â the old lady spat out viciously.
âOkay,â Cornelius said. This concerned Sydneyâs happiness. He wasnât going to get in the way of that. âMom, do whatever you think is right.â
The old womanâs eyes shone brightly with venom. âIâll make her suffer for what she did. Sheâs going to find out the consequences of disrespecting her elders!â

Meanwhile, outside Kaiser.
Evan had collected the keys to his car. He was going to pay a visit to Ellieâs apartment and see Eudora and Nathaniel.
Before he drove away from the restaurant, he called Hayden. Hayden was to come to the restaurant right now and wait outside. If Jamie didnât give Anya a lift home after dinner, Hayden was to send Anya home.
Having instructed Hayden on what to do, Evan started the car and made his way toward Anyaâs apartment.
He made a pitstop at a shopping mall and got a few expensive toys that he knew were extremely popular with children.
He hadnât checked on Eudora since her attempted abduction.
He thought he should drop by and see if she had recovered from the incident.
It had been a long while since he had worried about someone. The girl felt like family to him.
The results of the DNA report had said otherwise.
But his instincts told him she was.
He was going to get another DNA test done. If the results remained unchanged, he would give up.
This time, he was going to send the DNA samples to Scarlett Port.
He could trust the professionals in Scarlett Port and the results of the DNA report.

Having arrived at a decision, Evan found the tension in his shoulders easing away. The young man drove his car to Ellieâs apartment
He parked the car, grabbed the toys that he had bought, and headed upstairs.
Ellie was tidying one of the rooms. The twins had just had their milk and were sitting in front of the television set quietly, watching cartoons.
The doorbell rang. Ellie didnât hear it.
But Nathaniel did. He clambered to his feet and dashed toward the door happily,
But he couldnât reach the handle. He was too short. He couldnât open the door.
The boy turned around and started yelling for Ellie, âEllieâ¦Ellieâ¦â
After some time, Ellie finally heard the boy, She set whatever she was holding down and hurried out of the room.
Nathaniel was pointing at the door. âMommyâ¦â
The boy thought his mother had come home.
Ellie smiled and tousled the boyâs hair. She opened the door without looking, âIs Mommy back?â
She wasnât. The person standing at the doorway wasnât Anya. It was the looming form of Evan,
Ellie froze momentarily. The next second, she tried to slam the door shut in Evanâs face.
Evan stopped her in the nick of time. He kept the door open firmly. âIâm here to see the kids.â
Ellie was no match for Evan. She couldnât shut the door at all. âMr. Welton, itâs late⦠this isnât appropriate at all.â
âIt wonât take long. I wonât take up too much of your time.â Evan pressed on before forcing his way into the house.
Ellie couldnât stop him at all. She stood in front of Nathaniel and shielded the boy from Evanâs eyes. âMr. Welton, this isnât appropriate at all.â
âYou seem worried. Why are you so worried?â Evan sounded gentle. But the aura that he exuded was that of an overwhelming authority that forced everyone in his presence to yield to his demands.
âYouâre mistaken,â Ellie said as she tried to muster a smile on her face. âItâs late. I donât think we should be entertaining guests at such an hour.â
âIt wonât take long.â Evan placed the toys he had bought on the floor before addressing his next question to the boy hiding behind Ellie, âNathaniel, do you like Transformers?â
The young man simply wanted to see the children.
He wasnât going to do anything to the kids until he got another DNA test done.
Nathanielâs eyes brightened at the mention of Transformers. He seemed a little hesitant though.
The boy lingered at Ellieâs side before he finally caved. He couldnât resist the temptation of toys. Nathaniel stepped away

from Ellie.
The boy threw a curious look at the big new toy on the floor. It looked amazing.
The Transformer looked incredible,
Nathaniel couldnât look away.
Ellie saw the look in Nathanielâs eyes. After some thought, she concluded that she had no way of making the man leave now that he had gotten into their apartment. She excused herself and slipped into the bedroom. She had to call Anya and get her to come back right now.
